Oracle Data Dictionary There's a view of all the data dictionary views in oracle called DICTIONARY. So you can query it like so: select TABLE_NAME, COMMENTS from DICTIONARY order by TABLE_NAME; This includes comments about most of the views which is really handly. Almost all the views use plurals (ALL_TABLES not ALL_TABLE) To find all the tables associated with a schema, query ALL_TABLES and specify the appropriate OWNER e.g. SYSADM.
